Please help with identification of these two ants. I believe both are mated, but one with wings could be unmated. Thanks in advance.

~~Tapinoma sessile queen. B. patagonicus is unlikely, there is no visible acidopore.~~ B. patagonicus, not sure what I was thinking, or seeing. Clearly wasn't.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

Maybe I’m mistaken, but there seems to an acidopore in the first picture. I think this is B. patagonicus. Can you please include necessary supplemental information like time and setting of capture?

Time was approximately 3:30pm fairly warm day in the 80s. In an area surrounded by farm land and plenty of trees (pine and oak) and is this identification for both ants or just one? Sorry getting a little lost haha
